Red and white is a great combination for a wedding as it combines the red for the passion you feel for each other and the white for the purity of the love between you – talk about a romantic wedding theme.

Red and White Wedding Stationery

Wedding invitations and other pieces of wedding stationery can be quite expensive which is why I’m so glad I discovered something called PODs – these are companies that print items on demand. My favourite POD is called Zazzle and they have a great collection of wedding stationery to choose from.

As Zazzle is an online company they don%u2019t have the same overheads to pay which means they are a much more budget friendly option for your wedding stationery than some of the traditional printing companies. Zazzle are also a company that offers it%u2019s customers a 100% customer satisfaction and I have to say that I have always found their products to be excellent.

Red & White Save the Date Ideas

Zazzle offers a range of ideas to send to people besides the usual Save the Date Cards (although they have them too). Ideas include badges, magnets and stickers, let’s look at some of the ideas –

The great thing about Zazzle is that you can get not only matching save the date cards, invitations, place cards etc, but you can also get matching postage stamps for some designs and in my opinion this is a great little extra that really gets noticed.

Now it’s time to think about the bridesmaids. You can dress them in red if you’re going to be wearing a white or a red and white wedding gown, alternatively if you’re planning on being the bride in red then you can find a white bridesmaids gown for them to wear.

Of course you might prefer to dress your flower girls in red and that’s okay as well – look at these gorgeous dresses –

Red & White Wedding Flowers

The first thing I think of when I think of a red and white wedding are red and white roses, but there are definitely other flowers that you can use such as poppies, orchids and lilies. Check out a few floral ideas here –

Of course you don’t have to have a red and white bouquet you could have a white bouquet or a red bouquet instead. Another option which is often used is when the bride wears white and the bridesmaids wear red the bride will carry a red bouquet and the bridesmaids a white one.

Here’s a few more wedding flower bouquet ideas for you –

Red and White Wedding Accessories

From decorating your wedding venue to ring pillows and more there are a few things that are useful to have as wedding accessories. If you’re getting married in a church then decorating the church in your colors is important. Whereas flowers is a traditional way of decorating the church sometimes this can become expensive so another alternative is to use tissue pom poms instead, like these –

If you’re getting married outside then you’ll need a small table for the signing of the marriage certificate etc and I would make sure you have a full tablecloth in red or white and then a smaller cloth in the opposite color to pop on top .

Other wedding accessories that you can use include these –

I must admit I haven’t actually used these books, but I’ve read some great reviews about them on different forums so I’m sure you’ll find them really helpful.

Now the one thing I like to do when planning any event, let alone the most important day of your life, is to take notes and have an action plan. With so many different things to think about from the ceremony, reception, wardrobe, wedding party etc I would recommend getting a wedding binder where you can keep all of your notes in one place.

Here are a couple of awesome wedding binders for you to choose from, best of all they’re even in your wedding colors!

Wedding Stationery for Your Special Day

I have compiled yet another page full of aqua and red wedding invitations courtesy of a POD company called Zazzle. This is a great way to get good quality wedding stationery at a great price.

Aqua and Red Reception Decor Ideas

When it comes to decorating your reception area one of the simpler things to do is decide on your tablecloths and napkins. Quite simply use your foundation color for the tablecloth whether that’s going to be aqua or red and your secondary color for the napkins. As for the rest of the decor, well there are lots of ideas for your to choose from.

I like the idea of using silk rose petals sprinkled on the tables or diamond confetti, the place card holders will also help to bring your personal touch to the decorations and then come the centrepieces……………..

Aqua and Red Centerpieces

There are so many different ideas for centrepieces that, again, it’s only limited by your imagination. The more traditional idea is to use flowers and this can work really great, although depending on what flowers you choose it can also be a little expensive.

A great idea for a centrepiece is to use Christmas ornaments – yes you heard me correct, Christmas ornaments! Simply buy some plain hurricane vases and fill them with either aqua Christmas ornaments, red Christmas ornaments or a mix of the two in each vase. The look is really effective, add a few tealight candles around the table and you have some lovely table dÃ©cor.

Aqua is a simply gorgeous color on a Christmas ornament as you’ll see from the selection I’ve compiled here.

Red really is a great color to see on a Christmas tree so it’s hardly surprising that red Christmas ornaments are seen as very traditional.

Here’s some more aqua and red centrepiece ideas –

Cool cupcake vases if you did want to use flowers add a fun touch and are available in a range of colors like these –

There really are some gorgeous wedding gowns available in this color combination and I love the imaginations of the designers who have found different ways to combine the red and white together.

Using red fabric in panels or as trimming is one example, red embroidery on a white dress is yet another and the different effects that these techniques have really do embrace a range of styles – which one is your favorite?

I’m rather taken by the dress on my left as the red floral accents are to my mind quite stunning, although I also like the final strapless gown as well with the scattering of roses in the skirt and the use of red lacing for the corset style bodice.

So Many Choices!

The wedding dresses I’ve featured so far have been mainly white with red on them, these next couple of gorgeous wedding dresses are mainly red with white on them and they are sizzling!!!

Although in Western society we think of a white wedding dress as being traditional in many Eastern society’s a red dress is more traditional so combining the two colors is a great idea if your family covers a multi-cultural heritage.

Red is seen as a color of good luck and prosperity which is why it’s embraced in China, India and Vietnam (among others) as a traditional wedding dress color.

In Japan a bride will wear several gowns throughout the ceremony including a white dress and a red dress. The white dress symbolizes her ‘death’ from her family and the red dress symbolizes her ‘rebirth’ into her husband’s family.

Short Gothic Wedding Dresses

Gothic Wedding Dresses That Show Some Leg – Oh La La!

A Gothic Wedding Dress is a great choice for a bride that wants to wear a unique wedding dress that will stand out.

There certainly are some great Gothic wedding dresses around including some short ones, because let’s face it you don’t always have to go with a traditional long dress to get married in.

Whether you want to get married in a black wedding dress or a white wedding dress or a different color completely there are a number of different Gothic wedding dresses to choose from, so let’s go wedding dress shopping!

Short Black Gothic Wedding Dresses

Black is the color that we first think of when we think Gothic and so I decided to start off the search for your perfect short Gothic wedding dress with the black dresses!

The first three short dresses would look great with black and white striped tights and big Mary Jane shoes. Alternatively if you prefer the Cyber Goth look you could add neon tights to complete the ensemble.

A Gothic White Wedding Dress

A White Wedding Goth Style!

Most of the Gothic white wedding dresses that I have seen are actually a longer length and medieval in style, however you can think outside of the box if you really want a white wedding and look at these dresses …..

Tulle Satin Beads Sweetheart Short Wedding DressCheck Price Elegant Ruffles Strapless Short Wedding DressCheck Price

Now I’m sure you’re saying ‘hang on a minute, what’s Gothic about these two dresses’ and this is where I tell you to think outside of the box. While neither of these dresses are Gothic in any sense they do have good bones which means that if you accessorize properly you can create a Goth look with them.

The dress on the left for example would look totally different if worn with ‘don’t mess with me’ black boots and that’s even without thinking about hair, make-up and wedding bouquets.

The dress on the right is a little harder to envisage on a Gothic bride, but there’s something about the longer fabric at the back of the dress that just hints that there’s more to this dress than meets the eye. Try adding lace fingerless gauntlet gloves for starters, matching lace design stockings, Mary Jane shoes and some Gothic jewelry and the look becomes something totally different.

Short Red Gothic Wedding Dresses

Red is a color that is often associated with Gothic fashion whether it symbolizes passion or blood really depends on what type of Goth you are, for some it could symbolize both.

Red is passionate and romantic which is why it is often a great color choice for a wedding dress and not just for Goths, check out these Red Wedding Dresses if you have any doubts.

Womens Red Gothic Lolita Boned Bustier Corset DressCheck Price

This corset style dress is very Gothic in style and would look great when teamed with a black bouquet.

Put the bridesmaids in black as well and it will make you stand out even more in your ‘passionate’ red dress!

This next dress is more retro 50s inspired than what you’d normally think of as Gothic, but it accessorized well this can become a perfect rockabilly/Gothic wedding dress.
50s Polka Dot DressCheck Price

The red already contains black as well (red and black being a great color combination for a Gothic wedding) in the polka dots and the trim.

Use black roses in your bridal bouquet and a beautiful Gothic pewter necklace around your neck and you’re starting to look like a Gothic Wedding Fantasy!

Short Burgundy Gothic Wedding Dress

Burgundy is a deep, rich color that is embraced by traditional or romantic Goths especially.
Skelapparel Retro Vintage 60’s Queen of Hearts Two Tone Burgundy & Black Satin DressCheck Price

This is another dress with a retro feel to it, but I love the fact that the black material in the front gives the impression of an over dress that was often used in Medieval fashion.

Another great thing about this dress is the color combination of rich burgundy with black – overall this would be a gorgeous nod to Gothic fashion that also has a little hint of individuality to it as well.

Short Purple Gothic Wedding Dress

Purple is one of my favorite Gothic colors and this dress is simply gorgeous. Purple, corset, lace …… what else could you ask for in a short Gothic Wedding Dress??

It is a beautiful dress as well as being very affordable – who said getting married had to be expensive!

Of course the use of love hearts in the design and monogrammed ones at that just make the whole thing extremely romantic as well! I hope you enjoy the other wedding goodies I’ve selected for you here that compliment the custom postage stamp so well –

White orchids seem to lend a gorgeous tropical theme to any beach wedding as you can see with the wedding postal stamp featured above and the matching wedding stationery here. I especially like the design on the wedding binder – gorgeous!

Wedding Stationery to Match the Custom Seashell Postage Stamps

The use of seashells in the decor is an absolutely classic way of carrying through a beach theme and yet this design is still fresh which is why it remains a very popular wedding postage and stationery design for people after a beach inspired wedding.

I love the wind swept look of a beach although I’ll admit it’s not a theme I usually think of for a wedding! If you love this look and want to incorporate it into your wedding accessories then (as before) I’ve found a few other products with the image for you –

More on Purchasing Custom Wedding Stamps

Postage Stamps Available Through Zazzle

As I’ve already said all of these custom postage stamps are available through Zazzle and they come in sheets of 20. Depending on how many of these stamps you require you can get the price discounted – simply click on the postage stamp you like and then when you’re on the order page you’ll see a drop down menu for however many sheets you want – this will show you the prices depending on the quantity brought.

What about denominations? Depending on how far away you need to send your wedding invitations you may need a variety of different stamp denominations. Zazzle offer 13 different denominations from 33c (the amount required to send a postcard) up to $5.60 (not really sure I’ve ever needed that denomination!!).

I must admit I think it’s absolutely wonderful that you’re able to buy custom postage stamps for a variety of different occasions – I grew up in the UK and it’s certainly not available there. I think your wedding is the ideal opportunity to get your very own postage stamps printed, after all they do it for royal weddings so why not yours?

For more cool custom postage stamps I do know of a very cool site – Custom Postage Stamps.

Cool & Unique Wedding Cakes

Unique Wedding Cakes with Personality!

More and more people are choosing to have unique and cool wedding cakes that showcase some of their own personalities. The wedding cake featured here is of a couple rowing between the two places they are from which makes the cake very personal.

If you don’t have a personal ‘journey’ to incorporate into your wedding cake then what about hobbies that you share. Some couples love Super Mario brothers, photography, Star Wars, travel and more so why not add some of these elements to your wedding cake and have a really unique wedding cake for you.

I’ve tracked down some of the coolest wedding cake images I could find that I hope will give you some inspiration when it comes time to choose your own wedding cake. Of course if you really don’t think you want to use your whole wedding cake to showcase your personality you can always go with a traditional cake and some cool wedding cake toppers instead!

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cakes

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cakes aren’t as unusual these days as they were when my parents were getting married, but they’re still a lot of fun. I think the topsy turvy wedding cake featured is even better because of the wedding cake topper that’s been used.

I think this cake is traditional enough in the colors and decorative icing to keep grandma happy while still showing a lot of personality with the combination of the funny wedding cake topper (which you can purchase below) and the tilt of the topsy turvy styled cake.

Of course some of the best topsy turvy cakes are decorated in a much more over the top fashion than this one as you can see if you keep scrolling down the page….

Pumpkin Wedding Cake

This wedding cake was made for a Halloween wedding where the couple didn’t want the usual black and orange or horror inspired or Gothic looking cake. Instead they went with a Fall inspired wedding cake in the shape of a pumpkin.

The idea of making a wedding cake based on a favorite food has actually been done a few times – I saw one on a television show once that was based on a hamburger, fries and milkshake because the couple had their first date at a burger bar which I thought was pretty cool.

Another great idea for a food inspired wedding cake is if your name happens to be the same as an item of food which leads me to the next cake I have for you……..
